Sensor device for and a method of sensing magnetic particles

摘要

A sensor device for sensing magnetic particles, the sensor device including a substrate and a sensing unit provided on and/or in and/or near the substrate. The sensing unit is configured to sense a detection signal indicative of the presence of the magnetic particles. The sensor device further includes a magnetic field control unit which may be provided off the substrate and is configured to generate a time-dependent magnetic field for interaction with the magnetic particles.
